'Two brothers, one woman and a virus make Red Queen, an Australian apocalyptic novel, a compelling read.' Sunday Tasmanian
Deep in the Australian bush, Shannon Scott is holed up in a cabin with his brother, Rohan, waiting out the catastrophic effects of worldwide disease and a breakdown of global economies.
After months of isolation, Shannon imagines there's nothing he doesn't know about his older brother, or himself - until a mysterious woman slips under their late-night watch and past their loaded guns.
Denny Cassidy is beautiful and a survivor.
Her inclusion into cabin life brings about the need for a new set of rules.
Soon the brothers begin to look to her as a source of comfort, hope and intimacy . . . Or is her warmth just a trap?
Could she actually be a cold tactician, a woman with a deadly agenda?
